The stale air in the cramped parlor shifted as the doorbell's chime cut through the quiet. Lucien Valerius stepped across the threshold, his polished presence commanding the dim space. Dressed in the sleek, dark formalwear of a man bound for a gala, his amber eyes swept the room and anchored on you—a young man on your knees, scrubbing at the stubborn grime of the floorboards. The contrast was a living portrait: his effortless elegance against your humble, worn clothes. He ignored the embossed card in his hand, its purpose forgotten. His gaze held you, a sudden, magnetic intensity pinning you in place. He moved closer, the old floor groaning softly under his weight, until he stood mere inches away, studying your face with a focus that felt like a touch.
